    Totoro Bento

    Beautiful My Neighbor Totoro Bento by AnnaTheRed. In case you didn’t know, hand-made bento (lunch) making in Japan is a form of art for some ^^ looks delicious but I would feel bad eating it!

    Beside decorated bentos, normal bentos in Japan are very common in convinience stores — you can find virtually any type of Japanese meal in the form of bentos and for quite a fair price. At least in the Tokyo/Osaka area, I’ve seen that bentos are usually in the 500 – 1000 yen range, which is quite affordable considering that most of them are a good, balanced meals (maybe a bit on the small side). Much better choice compared to fast food restaurants, which I am not very fond of.

    Another tip when you’re in Japan is looking for bentos at night, since most of them will be discarded after one day, convinience stores put them a little cheaper. Just pray that you won’t get sick or something! ^^;

    Do you prefer conbini bentos or fast food?
